Maria's Tortilla - East Dulwich.


Recommended Posts

We went last night just for a glass and a couple of pieces of tapas before heading down the road for drinks. Maria is charming and full of warmth. I hope that people will support it - not as swanky as some of the other restaurants in this foodie part of ED but great intention.

Well, it would be nice, but no! Was thinking of kids tea. The gap at Miss Tapas means it isn?t so practical. Went to Maria?s Tortilla today. It?s nice. Prefer Miss Tapas, but Maria?s is a great addition to Lordship lane and it?s nice to have a different option.

Indeed it is open and it is an excellent bar. Fashioned like a typical Spanish bar, where you have your tapas as a side to your drink, not viceversa!

Glorious tortillas (the original Spanish omelette with several flavours), croquetas, pintxos...Mar?a also a very friendly owner. Worth a visit and repeat.

I?ve added Maria?s Tortilla to Tripadvisor as its a welcome addition to the lane and the more places its mentioned that people might look the more chance it has of being there in the future when we want to go again. If you can add reviews to the Tripadvisor entry that would be good - new places are mentioned on the forum but then threads are not updated and it gets difficult to find out about them. Here?s what we thought of it.


?This is a bar not a restaurant and less foodie than recent additions to Lordship Lane. It?s good at what it does.


Like most places on Lordship Lane it?s small. There are three low tables, three or four high tables for two and seats at the bar.


There are drinks menus on the table and the food - tapas and pinxos- is written on a blackboard at the end of the bar. There is a good selection of wine by the glass.


Tortilla was so good we finished it so quickly Maria thought we hadn?t had it. The sauce on the Patatas bravas was quite smoky. Pisto (ratatouille) had too much tomato for us.


A welcome addition and Maria was very friendly. Prices reasonable for tapas. Dishes ?2.50 for an individual snack, ?4-?6.50 for a tapas to share.


We?ll be back?

A shout out for the excellent Maria's Tortilla. Dropped in for the first time yesterday and definitely intend to go often! My glass of wine was delicious, so was my plate of food, and good value too. Also a lovely and relaxed atmosphere. Fully recommend it...

    • I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.
    • As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
